Rogue One: A Star Wars Story “Darth Vader” Featurette [HD]:-
Ok, at this point I’m a little nervous.
Ever since the movie opened, I’ve noticed various (badly filmed) clips of the Darth Vader end scene over on YouTube. The quality of them differed greatly from each other of course, but they generally seemed to show a certain consistency where the colouration of the scene was concerned, and Darth’s lightsaber looked great. However, some recently uploaded versions (in better quality) by these naughty folk seem to show quite a difference in the colour grading to the earlier clips on there…
So at this particular stage, I’m hoping the look of Darth’s red lightsaber hasn’t been effed-up yet again for the official home release…especially in that final shot of him watching the Tantive IV escape.
I’m cautiously waiting to see how this scene now looks in it’s final HD release, as I don’t trust any Blu-ray release to get things looking right these days.
(Note - the footage colouration in the video above looks different to some of the earlier YouTube uploads, and I’m not going to just assume that it shows the exact final grading - I just hope Vader’s lightsaber ends up more RED than pink throughout, when it’s released)
